In 2015, Banksy created a large-scale installation titled Dismaland Bemusement Park, and immersive and fully functional amusement park that featured political commentary on the distribution of wealth, sexism, and the UK government. The park operated from August to September of 2015, was funded by Banksy himself.

Banksy is an English artist and writer, considered one of the most famous street-artist in the world, whose true identity (Banksy is actually a pseudonym) is still unknown. His works are often satirical in nature and cover topics such as politics, culture and ethics. His activities as a political activist and director are also well known. Banksy's street art is satirical and subversive in nature. His works combine a dark humor with graffiti done with the stencil technique. His murals of political and social criticism have appeared on city streets, walls and bridges around the world. Banksy's work was born in the Bristol underground scene, which saw artists and musicians collaborate. Banksy claims to have been inspired by 3D , a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of the British musical group Massive Attack . Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces
